My husband´s ex-wife is my best friend! *update in green*
I am wondering if some ladies on here are actually friends with their husband´s ex. Or maybe you are the ex. Are you friends with your husband´s new wife? Do you try to get along because children are involved? Why do you like them, or why don´t you like them?
Just to clarify: I am NOT friends with my husband´s ex. I was just wondering who of you can actually say that, and how you make this work. :)
I wanted to say thank you to all the ladies who took the time to share their stories in this post. I understand that those are very personal stories, and I appreciate you sharing them. Thank you! :)
I've been friends with my ex new wife. But we grew up together. He hates it. I think. He won't speak to me if he doesn't have to. I also have a friend that is best friends with her xh wife. They are like sisters they are so close. But she can't stand the ex. Very uncomfortable for them to be around each other. They too have grown up together though.
My own mother and my daddy's ex-wife are not really friends but are friendly. I like her, I even asked my mom one day if it offended her or anything and she said no, shes a big girl and can handle it lol
When we lived in WA state and my brother lived there too, his mother (dad's ex) would visit from Alaska and make dh and I some home cooked meals since we were so far from home (he is military). Before then I had met her maybe 10 times in my life? But I have 3 half-siblings. So, from seeing her and my mom get along I know it is possible....but probably not too common.
A hoarder? Like the ones they show in that show on tv?? The funny thing is that people who call you "horrible people" never heard your side of the story. It is tough when they are family, but on the other hand they never bothered to question what she was telling them. I can see how that takes a toll on you. That is just flat out wrong. Letting go isn´t always easy, but you have to so you can go on with your life. I am glad it is getting better, and hopefully you can leave it all behind you. Some people are just not worth it.

Lol nah, I just read it wrong. But I know of a few people that have semi-decent relationships with their husbands' exes. Or maybe that's just wishful thinking lol
Yeah, she was something special, that is for sure. We'd only been married a year when she died, too, so you can imagine just how bad it was. A lot of the problems she caused went beyond the grave, though, like the people that she knew that felt it was their duty to tell us what horrible people we were simply because we didn't bend over backwards for her, and she was a hoarder, and we're living in her and fil's old house, so we've been dealing with cleaning it out. It's emotionally draining, being surrounded by her things all the time. But it's getting better. She did a real number on dh, and he's still healing.
Thanks for the hugs! It's getting better!!!
You are so lucky, you have no idea.
Another positive story. I like that. I like to see that it is possible, although, as you said, that is not the norm.

Dh has no kids with his ex wife so they have no reason to communicate.

I am sure he does not appreciate it lol! Maybe he thinks you two are talking about him behind his back.
The other couple seems to be in a strange situation. That would make me uncomfortable, too.

No chance of changing that at some point?

We are definitely not friends.
Now that is what I would call unusual lol! Glad you get along though. Makes many things a lot easier :)

I love my ex's wife. She's amazing lol and I think she feels the same about me. I hang out with her about once a month.
Do you ever get hit on even looking a mess?
Why inflict this silly cosmetic pain on a baby!?!
